ABOUT US
Founded by former Professional Footballer and Premier League winner Danny Simpson, the Danny Simpson Academy prides itself on being an all-inclusive football academy based in Eccles, Manchester, with a commitment to excellence and providing the highest quality training environment for young people to thrive.
Not every player will go on to play professionally, but every player deserves to be coached, challenged and supported like a professional.
That is the standard we set.
Why DID WE START THE DANNY SIMPSON ACADEMY?
Our MISSION
Built on over two decades in the professional game, The Danny Simpson Academy brings real experience, elite standards and proven insight to the next generation.
Led by Danny and an expert coaching team, our environment is designed to challenge, support and inspire young players at every stage of their journey.
Every session has purpose. Every detail matters. Every player matters.
Through a progressive, holistic and forward thinking coaching programme, players are supported to grow not only as footballers, but as confident, resilient young people.
Meet the FOUNDER
A product of the illustrious Manchester United Academy, Danny enjoyed a professional football career spanning 20 years. A Premier League Winner with Leicester City in 2016, he also had spells at Newcastle United, QPR, Royal Antwerp, Ipswich, Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town.
“I’m incredibly grateful to be in a position where I can open my own Football Academy in my home town of Manchester to share my passion for the game and create opportunities for young people to access top quality coaching on their doorstep.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now and feel this is the right time for me to commit to supporting young people in my local community by giving them the platform football gave me.
My motivation is to use football to engage and inspire young footballers of all abilities, and for my Academy to become a home for young footballers from all walks of life and a real hub for talent, providing a creative, nurturing and positive environment that enables players to really share in my love and passion for the game.”
